Door Seals
Door Seals
Door seals are equipped at factory with sealant, applied to door flange and then rolled on.
NOTE:
-
During removal of seal, sealant is distributed on interior side of seal and flanks are bent up easily. If seal is re-installed, sealing performance and
proper seating are no longer guaranteed.
-
For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a so-called "hammer-stroke seal".
-
For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
